Meatjack’s Brian Daniloski’s solo endeavor titled Darsombra is as unsettling an album as you can get, as the one man band’s drone metal nuances and mechanically alluring atmospheres provided on ECDYSIS aren’t for the unadventurous. Entrancing swirls of guitar, thickets of delay, and an overbearingly foreboding vibe are put to good use across this six-track sojourn, as tracks like “The Place Where There is No Darkness” and the oppressive funeral home influenced sitar driven dirge “My House” displays the type of musical experimentations and journeys through sound reserved for only ears that appreciate ornately crafted doom rock. www.atalossrecordings.com
